K2 Launches Hybrid Work Shoes 'Plex'

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Outdoor brand K2 launched the lightweight and comfortable hybrid walking shoes ‘Flex’ on the 9th.

Flex features K2’s unique dual cushioning system, providing excellent cushioning, flexibility, and stable fit.

It applies a soft and flexible Phylon material upper midsole and an IU material lower midsole to offer outstanding cushioning, absorbing shocks applied to the feet while securing the feet for more comfortable and stable walking.

In addition, it provides the best wearing comfort through X-foam, known for its excellent elasticity and durability. The midsole incorporates an energy plate that holds the heel curve and converts shocks applied to the heel into energy, reducing foot fatigue even during long walks.

Moreover, the use of highly flexible Gore-Tex stretch material makes it not only light and comfortable but also waterproof and breathable, keeping feet comfortable even in sudden weather changes. The application of highly breathable TPE mesh material ensures optimal walking conditions.

Unlike the traditional bulky walking shoe style, the Gore-Tex big-size logo print and chunky design make it suitable for light outdoor activities as well as travel and daily life. It is unisex and available in three colors: white, black, and purple. The price is 179,000 KRW.

Dongjun Shin, head of K2’s shoe planning team, said, “Flex is a hybrid walking shoe that combines excellent cushioning and waterproof breathability for all-weather wear with street sensibility. We especially expect it to be loved by consumers for its stylish design reminiscent of sneakers.”
